Washtenaw County Catholic churches renovate house with Habitat for Humanity
Courtney Sacco I AnnArbor.com
The county's 12 congregations — plus Saint Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor Hospital — have raised funds to sponsor and renovate a home with Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley. The non-profit organization provides homeownership opportunities and assistance for low-income families in Washtenaw County.
The group raised the pledged $30,000 to sponsor the property and has been sending construction volunteers since early April to renovate the home at 2143 Merrill St., Ypsilanti, in what they have dubbed, the "Catholic House."
"Every church is spiritually behind it and many are financially behind it, because we all believe in the importance of good, clean, safe housing for people," said Rev. Brendan Walsh, pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Dexter and vicar for the region.

Here's a list of Washtenaw County Catholic Churches
- Christ the King, Ann Arbor
- Immaculate Conception, Milan
- St. Andrew, Saline
- St. Francis of Assisi, Ann Arbor
- St. John the Baptist, Ypsilanti, merged with Holy Trinity Student Parish, Ypsilanti
- St. Joseph, Dexter
- St. Joseph, Ypsilanti
- St. Mary Student Parish, Ann Arbor
- St. Mary, Chelsea
- St. Mary, Manchester
- St. Patrick, Ann Arbor
- St. Thomas the Apostle, Ann Arbor
St. Joseph raised the funds during a "fifth Sunday" collection in January, as part of the church's tradition of donating money collected during additional masses held in months with more than four Sundays to charity. But many other churches, including Ann Arbor's St. Francis of Assisi and St. Thomas the Apostle and Chelsea's St. Mary Parish, participated as part of a special project for Lent.
Courtney Sacco I AnnArbor.com
St. Francis, a leader in the project, contributed about one-third of the total funds as part of its Lenten "Sustain a House Sack." The annual project asks parishioners to cut back on their energy use during Lent and contribute the financial savings to a partner organization to support those in need.
Scott Wright, the parish social ministry director at St. Francis, said Lent was a period of preparation for Easter, the Christian holy day marking the believed resurrection of Jesus Christ.
"This is a practice of trying to simplify our lives in order that we can share what we have with others who are less fortunate, because we recognize when we pray, fast and give alms, that life is not fair and that when we participate, we basically share what God has given everyone," he said.
The "Catholic House" eventually will be home to Hosanna Vivas and her 12-year-old daughter, Andrea. The Venezuelan native, who now lives in an apartment in Ann Arbor, fled her home country in 2006 after being kidnapped and robbed in her home country, and now lives in the United States as a permanent resident.
Vivas is a single mother who works as a Spanish-English medical interpreter at the University of Michigan and takes classes at Washtenaw Community College in preparation for nursing school. She said while she works and pays her bills, she never had enough cash to purchase a home. When a friend informed her of the support with Habitat for Humanity, Vivas applied and said she quickly was approved.
"For me to get my house was like a dream," she said. "I saw a lot of houses, and I never thought that it could be possible because of my economic situation."
Families who qualify to receive a Habitat home have income levels between 30-60 percent of the Washtenaw County area median income, varying by family size, according to the Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley website. Families must then contribute 200 "sweat equity" hours of building work per adult toward their house in addition to an interest-free mortgage payment that does not exceed more than 30 percent of the family's income.
Karen Shellie, manager of corporate relationships for Habitat for Humanity of Huron Valley, said houses usually are valued at around $100,000 after renovation, though purchased for much less. In the case of the "Catholic House," Habitat acquired the home from Ypsilanti Township after it had been abandoned for nearly two years.
Volunteers have been renovating the house every Friday and Saturday since April 6 and will continue until early June. A dedication to welcome Vivas and her daughter into the home is expected later that month.
Vivas said she is extremely grateful to Habitat for Humanity, God and all the people who have contributed to her home.
"I'm feeling really happy, my daughter is feeling happy because she's going to have her own room, she's going to be able to bring her friends home and we are going to have our own place," she said. "This is more than wonderful."

My comments are two-fold. In our progressive, religion-God-bashing area, I'm surprised this was given press and allowed to use the word Catholic as many times as it was. I would also like to know if Hosanna Vivas is a "legal" resident. It only said permanent resident. I know dozens and dozens of American women who live in poverty, are abused daily and robbed and are not given the attention this woman was given. How was she chosen? A million kudos to the parishes and HH with the intentions but I feel we do not take of those already here in our midst.

JGA2trueblue, Habitat for Humanity only works with U.S. citizens or those who have legal permanent residency status, which Hosanna Vivas does. As for the other women in the area who are suffering, they are welcome to apply, like Hosanna did, to receive a Habitat for Humanity home. However, they still need to meet the requirements to qualify, which can be found at http://www.h4h.org/own-a-home/homeownership/.

Like most of what Jimmy Carter ever touched, HH is a well intended bad idea. The implied premise is that those receiving these houses understand hard work, obligation and duty - first to those who donate and work on them, and then to the lenders by paying their mortgage or loans every month. Sadly, in Michigan that is where HH usually breaks down and these generous offers of Christian good turn into an embarrassing wastes of time. The solution is for HH to keep careful and well publicized data on these houses and learn from each failure by modifying who can qualify for their services. For example, if someone has a modest income, but a great credit score. Think about it.

NoPC: And the last war between Israel and Egypt was...? Considering Egypt and Israel fought wars in 1948, 1956, 1967, and 1973 I'd say the "peace" JC worked has worked better than most agreements in the area in recent years.
Sun, Apr 28, 2013 : 7:45 p.m.
If your family's story were more common, I would be a supporter of HH. At the end of the day, it is your participation in society that make it successful. You folks sound like a excellent examples of people who HH was intended to help and I wish you all great success in the future.

I have a habitat house and let me say before you judge you should know that habitat has you pay of your debts,has you take classes for financial and home maintenance and the house isn't just givan to you. I am a married 24 year old with a 7 year old who works 40+ hours a week if it wasn't for habitat I wouldnt been able to afford to buy a house. So just because a few people don't appreciate it doesn't mean the whole thing is a bad idea.
Sun, Apr 28, 2013 : 6:16 p.m.
@Ivory-- Yeah, I see that "peace" JC worked out is going real well...

"Like most of what Jimmy Carter ever touched..." Like peace between Egypt and Israel for the last 34 years? Not too shabby.

What a cool idea for Lent, cutting back on energy usage!

I am glad FWH is working so hard to change...I know that is what I need to focus on...its just so hard to get over the hurt of all those years -
Sometimes I go over to the Long term affairs forum...for some reason I can relate to alot of what is said over there..wish we could get more participation on this topic.
If I had just the multiples to deal with, since they were prostitutes or anonymous ONS, I would probably be hanging in the SA thread.
Maybe what I don't want to think about is that if there were so many over so long that I DO know about, maybe there were more all along and since that was his "worst" period, he's lumped them all into that time period too. I wonder that especially since he would never confirm the start or end dates. I only have motel receipts from a 7 year period.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
In our case at least, my wife has finally found what she was looking for from the various OM. She was just looking in the wrong places before. It was inside her the whole time
The people you do your life with shape the life you live
fWW learned, at an early age (14?), to trade sex for security and attention. She didn't get either from her parents. Her mother was emotionally devastated by her cheating husband, and when she remarried, the relationship was about her and her new H, not about her kids.
What made things worse is that fWW's older sister was closer to her mom, and her mom did pay attention to, and care for fWW's older sister, and always took her side in conflicts. It is as if fWW's mother took out her pain from losing her 1st H on her second daughter, who she gave birth to right as her H's A was in full-swing. We speculate (don't know, because we haven't discussed this with fWW's mother) may have never actually bonded with fWW as an infant. fWW was practically raised by her grandparents for the first 6 years, mainly by her grandfather, because her grandmother is another whole warehouse of dysfunction; having been a resident of Germany when WWII ended, having endured the chaos and destruction, having had her house and flower shop bombed, having lost her first husband on the Eastern front. (disappeared - never found his body).
fWW does not remember any sexual abuse as a child. But this is how she characterized her teenage relationships from age 14 up. Sex traded for attention and security.
She seeks attention obsessively. Gets very depressed when she does not get it. She has always been a flirt; lives the life of an extrovert, but frankly, is an introvert, by nature.
I think that this is how she got into trouble in her first marriage. She uses the excuse that she wanted to get pregnant, and she and her 1st H could not succeed, so she looked for other "donors" - but when she found me, she fell in love. (this is the story as she relates it).
Oh - I was happy to give her attention.
And when that attention tapered off; (like, if I had to actually go to work?) she started looking elsewhere. I don't think she actively pursued A's, but she pursues risky situations, or when she has found herself in risky situations, she has not reacted to protect herself.
I think this is how she could have been raped twice. When she was raped, she returned to the attacker, and traded sex for security; as is common with rape victims.
Another effect of being ignored by her parents was that she also learned to be very self-sufficient, in terms of making an income, or taking care of necessities, dealing with problems. She worked full-time while in High School. She paid for her own books, her own clothes, her own car. She says she is very proud of this, but she also has a huge amount of resentment over this. She has a very difficult time putting trust in anyone else.
So when she was raped, she "dealt with it on her own". (and RESENTED the people who she should have trusted; her family, her husband).
The way she describes her first time with her first boyfriend, at 14, it also sounds like rape to me. And, of course, her reaction was to blame herself, and not tell anyone.
She has a long way to go in IC.
I learned all of this last year in one fell swoop, when I asked him about the porn and e-mails with his friend and found the $$ spent on some site. He confessed all then as our marriage was going crap and I told him I can't do it anymore and that I'll leave.
Would I have married him knowing what I know now? probably not. He admitted to doing everything he could (lie to me and manipulate me, +mind games) to ensure I marry him and stay married to him.
Out of all those 11 years for some reason he kept wanting me and to be with me. Whereas he gets tired of them all and wants someone new every time even if the girl(s) don't mind him screwing them and other people at the same time.
So I've not much concern about the past women, as he always wanted someone new with the exception of me. I was his back-up lady I guess. Someone he can show his friends and family.
I'm the only one he said "I love you" to apparently. Hence why I am no competition to the other girls, he says. I don't want to compete with them anyway. They were all immature, selfish, and broken like him.
I'm just glad he is becoming the man I thought I married and dated. Just sucks that I don't feel like the woman he married anymore. That innocent and feisty girl is gone. I'm just trying so hard to not be bitter and wallow in the mud of depression. I can be happy and I know it, I just felt like I don't want to choose to be.
Wifehad5 is right on one thing though, the root cause of all this is one and these multiple affairs can be lumped as one.
That's the only way to keep us people of these multiple A's sane I think. Especially when things like "WTF did I do to deserve this" keeps popping in our minds.
I rambled... sorry
True love is harder to come by than soul mates. True love requires work.
Ignorance can be cured with knowledge. There is no cure for being an idiot.
I was his back-up lady I guess. Someone he can show his friends and family.
I'm slowly finding out that in reality, we ARE the only ones these people could love. It's not just about being "presentable" although their choices of partners is questionable.
Its about them never revealing anything to anyone, except us. For a time they felt safe with us. And when they'd stray, kept running BACK to us... why? Because we were their comfort, what kept them going. Can you imagine being in that life and NEVER having a soft place to land?
Would I have married him if I knew what was the truth about him? Yes. I knew he was broken when I married him. I somehow thought that true love would fix all. I forgave him all the previous "others" when we were dating, because he kept dropping all of them, they never lasted more than a few "dates". I came to realize he saw them because he was becoming too attached to me. I was "it" and that scared the hell out of him, having never felt "it" before.
If I'd know about the girl during our engagment, no, I probably would have stopped or at least postponed the wedding. I am dumbfounded now that I bought into the "I didn't hear the phone ring" excuses.
Wifehad5 is right on one thing though, the root cause of all this is one and these multiple affairs can be lumped as one.
This is the one shred of sanity I hold on to. She has different excuses for all of them, including rapes, (and I believe her, that these were rapes, as she says).
Part of my problem is that it is very un-PC to blame a rape victim when they get into a situation that leads to a rape.
The reality of the situation is, it's not about blame. The blame/punishment model of behavior is broken from the getgo.
It's about choices and consequences.
My fWW has every right to expect to be able to talk to a man, rebuff his advances, and say no, and even struggle, kick, and bite, and expect to NOT be violated. That is 100% the rapists fault. His actions before the rape also incriminate him.
It's about figuring out what she can do next time to prevent this from happening again in the future. It happened twice in the past.
And that means getting to the root of the problem, which is the common cause between all of the A's.
If the common cause is a personality flaw, or bad learned behaviors, the ONLY way to get someone to acknowledge their problem and work on fixing it, is to show them a neutral picture of how much harm it has caused THEM. When they realize that it was counterproductive to begin with, only then will they understand the effort needed to fix it.
If you go out and call them a bad person, or attack them, their broken coping mechanisms for pain, blame, and guilt will come into play, and they'll block it out, avoid, shift blame, and get nowhere in treatment.
For a time they felt safe with us. And when they'd stray, kept running BACK to us... why? Because we were their comfort, what kept them going. Can you imagine being in that life and NEVER having a soft place to land?
That is true. I was always there for him and can always be counted on to care.
I was still willing to marry him when I thought he was dating other women (which he had admitted during our dating). However I would not have married him knowing just how screwed up he was and knowing the psychological mind games he played on me. I would've waited until he fixed himself and then I would've married him.
However, it's moot point. I am married to him now and we have a 2 year old. I can't just run away now and stop being caring and responsible.
I want to be able to meet my maker with head high and eyes looking straight at him. I'd let God choose who he thinks I deserve in the next life. For now, I have to take this as a test I need to pass for my own sanity. My soul isn't worth hardening my heart to someone obviously looking for forgiveness.
If the common cause is a personality flaw, or bad learned behaviors, the ONLY way to get someone to acknowledge their problem and work on fixing it, is to show them a neutral picture of how much harm it has caused THEM. When they realize that it was counterproductive to begin with, only then will they understand the effort needed to fix it.
This is exactly what happened and what he learned pretty much by himself. Even though I have told him since we were dating these concepts (selfishness, taking for granted, making your spouse the priority), he never "got" it. He's the type to learn the hard way. Whereas I have seen the hard way in my parents which made me malleable to learning the easy way and do what was right.
His selfishness, his near-sightedness made him think that he was the "poor guy" and used that to justify getting what he needed from other women. He did not saw me as someone who isn't getting what she needs too, his fidelity (which was pretty much my only requirement in a husband besides love).
He actually learned a little bit more than I did. He told me, "when it comes to it, the more I decide to give you what you need and what you want, the more I get what I need and what I want. So I learned to stop asking you to give me what I want as I get that anyway if all I do is think about what I can do for you."
Simple....my FWS also learned a similiar lesson....that "working" on our marriage was not really work at all...and that he actually enjoyed spending time doing things with me once he was committed to the marriage and pulled his head out of his ass.
The whole concept of reaping what you sow is so true....
I never really thought of lumping all the As into one and dealing with it that way.
I agree that ws was searching for the same thing in all of them....for him it was ego stroking and excitement.
Toonice.......I don't know if this is what you mean, abut I did this with my FWH - I took some of the emails he sent one of the OWs and made him read them in front of me...
In his mind he had convinced himself that the women were pursuing him....but when he read the emails, he was shocked and embarrased that he was the one doing the pursuing.
That was a real turning point for him....when he realized what a sleaze he had been and saw a picture of himself in his own words.
Sorry for the loss of your baby. I know how much that can hurt.
So you weren't the perfect wife. I'm sure he wasn't the perfect husband. This is not a reason for him to cheat. If he was that unhappy, he could have asked for a divorce. From here on out you can vow to be a better wife. Is he capable of being a better husband? It's great that he feels bad. Has he figured out they he did it yet?
The need for validation is strong with me. I love attention and having fun. Those qualities are not an issue until boundaries are crossed.
So if I can answer any direct questions I will do my best.
Did you only confess after being caught?
Did your spouse have suspicions?
Why is this time different?
WH is completely remorseful and accepts 100% responsibility for his actions and is going to AA & SLAA and getting IC.
He is letting me grieve and comforting me in the ways I ask him to but it's such a blow. I mean, the last six years were a lie. What I thought was the truth wasn't.
How do you get over all the crappy things the WS said and did while they were in the fog? Like bitching at me because I'm not making a huge salary anymore while he's giving my money to the AP who is a bankrupt skank who can't make rent?
He apologizes again and again and swears he's going to make things different and better for me. I'm having real trouble getting past the fact that the man I trusted turned out to be a pathological liar. Why should I believe him now?
On D-Day, I made him graph his affairs so I could see how they elapsed over time. There were gaps. How do I know that I'm not just in one of the gaps? I have no idea how I will ever trust him again.
I'm only six weeks out so maybe this is normal.
Normal or not, it really sucks.
Did you only confess after being caught?
Yes i did only after getting caught with what I got caught with. It took me along time to admit to the rest. Always hoping the minimal admission was enough and we could move forward. Almost like sweeping under the rug. Never successful as long as the lies are still there.
Did your spouse have suspicions?
BS has said that she didn't. Another PA happened during MC after I asked her for a divorce. She had a feeling I was not involved in the marriage through my consistent pulling away but not to that level.
Why is this time different?
Different in that I am seeing myself in a different light in IC and seeing the characteristics of myself that lead to those situations that make an A possible for me. I am also checking into the SA issues. Think there is merit in that as well. But to say it is different to me sounds wrong. That person the was involved in the A is still in me. The boundaries that I build around that person with the BS is the only way that it will be different. The desire to make the changes is what will make it different.
I am so sorry about the loss of your baby, I would think finding out about the As so soon after would be almost unbearable, grief heaped upon grief.
My best advice would be to seek marital and individual counselling. That is what has helped us beyond measure to rebuild our marriage.
As far as getting past thinking and wondering about the As, everyone says time...which I believe is true to some extent. I don't feel the pain as sharply now, but it is still there everyday. I guess at some point you come to an acceptance of that.
You have said you are addressing your depression and are on meds, but your WS
needs to address why he felt it was ok to cheat, even if you were a less than stellar partner.
Obviously, I still struggle, so I don't know if I have great advice for you, but the things that have helped me are spiritual counseling and prayer, IC & MC and talking it out here.
You are in my prayers...
[This message edited by cleo at 9:35 AM, July 31st (Thursday)]
You sound so much like my FWH....the need for validation, the immaturity, the trickle truth, ect.
I think that there is definately a differant dynamic at work in WS that that cheat repeatedly. My FWS talks about a feeling of intitlement....
One thing he did that really helped him was doing the 12-Step program - this helped him to really dig deep and look at himself and why he did the things he did. I know he would recommend it highly.
I think this is an issue that weighs heavily on me. Probably is worse because for many years my FWH was emotionally abusive and heaped all the home and child rearing responsibilites on me while he had his fun.
My FWH is really working to change, and I hate feeling like there is this imbalance in the relationship- a debt to be paid....but I just can't help it.
Boy, do I have a long way to go in my Christian walk.
2 X 4s welcome.

post more, i want to hit 50k already
I would post a picture of a post, but I am afraid the post office has gone bankrupt.
yeah its a shame, i quite enjoy the feel of mailing a legit piece of mail on the rare occasion i have to. stuffing it in an envelope, putting a stamp on and walking it over to the post office. feels straight up genteel.
I don't understand why the post office was made into a retarded semi-private business. The post office was never set up to make money in the first place, but to delive the god dam mail. Sure there are less letters today, the the situation is pretty much the same.
I think my dad single-handedly keeps the USPS in business in my area. He gets mail at least five times a week.
He's such an Ebayer...
We only get bills and official letters in the mail, but I always feel so thrilled when I get a letter.

Review this movie
Jun 25, 2013Personally, I hate biographies, I watched because I wanted to know more about Alfred and his masterpieces, how he does it? I learned a lot about him, he was crazy about Psycho. As a movie it is entertaining and funny, and what makes it perfect, is the acting, Mirren and Hopkins are wonderful, with some great chemistry between them. I loved it is by far, one of the greatest biographies ever told, and it is one excellent movie.… Expand
May 5, 2013A good bio that doesn't bore the hell out of you, not it is funny and keeps you interesting the whole watch and it is appropriate for all ages to get to know one of the greatest directors of all time.
Feb 18, 2013As he used to say- murder has come home, where it belongs" Alfred's Psycho was one of the best movies ever made and This movie tells us how Alfred actually made the movie. Now Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren were great in this film, Scarlet was good and others were nice too. The main thing I liked about this movie is that it has Details, details that good films need but they don't have! This Overall documentary is very good, not the fact that it has good cast and direction but the fact that its a meaningful movie!… Expand
Dec 30, 2012What a wonderful movie! It may be rewriting history but it does it in such a beautiful way. If I was A.H. then I would have a thing for blondes too...
Dec 26, 2012**** is easily one of the best films of the year. Hopkins and Mirren's performances were superb. If you pay any attention to the trailer you will know what it is about. A must see film of the year.
Dec 25, 2012Anyone who can resist Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren at the top of their form is a better man than I. There are subplots during which the film tends to lose impact and focus, but it's not long before Hopkins and Mirren resume their master class in screen acting. Their eyes convey more than speech.
Hitchcock purists will certainly take issue with some details, but Gervasi's film shouldn't be taken as an ironclad factual film docudrama. Rather, it is fact-inspired fiction -- a film based on real events but one that isn't shy about taking creative liberties. As long as viewers keep that in mind, Gervasi's stands to be a nice bit of murderous fun.

when violet was born, maybe 10 or so years ago, his siblings drowned because of the mother goose not knowing what to do. We rescued Violet, and I took to raising him by hand. Violet was a very attached young gosling, and we had many cars stop at our house watching Violet follow me around the yard wherever I went. Even now, as a wonderful adult gander, he will let me hand feed him. (but only me....laugh) He has won champion goose at the Linn county 4H fair, and he has been to the local elementary schools during farm day. He is pretty picky, but he loves bananas and bread. He is quite the talker, and he will "talk" as soon as he sees people. I always liked to brag at school that I didn't need a watch dog, I had a watch goose=)
my pet goose...unique yet wonderful

"There's always going to be pressure when people set the precedent for you, especially in your family," Long said after Thursday's practice at the Senior Bowl. "I just have to continue to work hard and be the best Kyle Long I can be."
Where do the comparisons start between himself, his brother and father? "I play offensive line, I don't play defense like those guys," he explained. "The one thing I can control is my attitude, preparation, and effort."
Long, a former pitcher, originally chose to play baseball at Florida State before dropping out of school; he found himself drowning in the party scene and collected a DUI while in Florida. The naturally gifted athlete then found his way to Mission Viejo, Calif. attending Saddleback College and deciding to get back on the football field.
He played one season for the Oregon Ducks before his eligibility expired.
Though the pressure has always been there to continue the family legacy in the league, the offensive tackle also says he now sees it as a blessing to have his family's guidance through his career.
"There's two guys I can call and that's my brother and my dad," he said. "With any situation on or off the field, they're a big help for me."
Long, who officially weighed in at 6-foot-6 304-pounds, was sidelined due to illness for two practices in Mobile this week but is expecting to participate in Saturday's game. "It's great to be out here with my teammates again," he said. "It's good to get a good sweat going, especially since being sick."
The feedback from the North squad's Oakland Raiders coaching staff has been limited due to his absence, but there's been plenty of action for him at the team hotel with NFL scouts. "I think we're all ready for those guys to go back to their regular schedules," Long admitted with a smile. "It's good to get to meet with teams and let them in on your personal stuff, but we're ready to get back to football."
Long is currently projected as a second-round pick in April's draft.

Pathfinder Lifting
Hello, I have a '99 Nissan Pathfinder, and I want to know what I would need to put a set of 33-inch tires on 15x10 wheels. I don't know if I should put different shocks under it, or if I can just use wheel spacers. It's a 4x4 and I want to know if the drivetrain will hold up to this size of tire. I enjoy your mag and am just now starting to receive it again.
Jonathan Harris
Madisonville, TN
Jonathan, I think you'd have better luck squeezing 33s onto your Pathfinder if you put 15x8 wheels on instead of 15x10s. Also, wheel spacers will likely not help you with tire clearance, but some suspension spacers might. And your drivetrain should probably hold up to 33-inch tires with no problems (depending on how you drive, of course).
Off-Road matchmaking
Hi! I'm a 29-year-old guy in prison (I get out in 2017). Off-road trucks have always been a big joy of mine, and I have a question: Why don't you show more Chevys? They're the best in my book! Then Dodge, but not Ford!
Also, can you put my info out there to maybe get some off-road lady penpals, please. I've been a subscriber for years and will continue to subscribe. Thanks again for any help on getting me some mail from some Chevy-loving ladies out there.
Brandon R. Bean #CO2328
Graceville, FL
P.S. I'm just a tall, tatted-up country boy who loves to get muddy. I hope you can help out.
Wow, this is definitely the first romantic request I've seen, but we'll pass it on through, Brandon.
As for Chevys, eight of the past 12 covers have featured Chevys. I'm not sure how much more we could do!
Chevy Conversion Clip
In your September 2010 issue on pages 42-43 there is a '73-to-'91 K5 with a 97+ Chevy front grille. What is required to make this swap other then the grill and lights? Does it use the '88-to-'98 hood or the '73-to-'87 hood, or is there a cutting and combining of both of them together? Does the radiator support require a lot of fab work? Any help would be great. Thanks!
Nick Rollins
U.S. Army
The front clip is a Glassworks Unlimited '88-to-'98 conversion clip for '73-to-'87 Chevy and GMC trucks and K5s. The kit comes with two fenders, the hood, and a cowl. You'll need to get an '88-to-'98 Chevy/GMC radiator support and find yourself a radiator as well (we used a custom Flex-a-Lite unit, but a stock '90s one will fit).
You'll need to cut the front frame horns off and fab new ones to support the '90s radiator at the correct height for the front clip. Once all that is done, you'll need to get a stock '90s grille, headlights, and get new harnesses to make the lights work. It's a sort-of intense front clip swap, but it fits nicely and looks cool.

Ultraportable PC: Everex Competing with Eee PC
US vendor Everex is looking to release an ultraportable notebook at a budget price to compete with the Asus EEE.
The ultraportable "Cloudbook" will also have a 7 inch display and be of a similar size. The "Cloudbook" will use "gOS", a Ubuntu 7.10 based operating system designed for Google applications. Instead of using the Gnome or KDE desktop gOS relies on Enlightment, a desktop that is frugal in its memory requirements. Computers with gOS are already available from Walmart.
In comparison to the Eee PC the "Cloudbook" has a Via C7 ULV CPU clocked at 1.2 GHz. The mass memory will be a normal laptop hard disk with a capacity of 30GB. Competitor Asus is banking on shock-proof Flash technology. The ports for attaching an external display are also different with Asus going for VGA, and the Cloudbook providing a DVI out port. One thing both machines have in common is a webcam integrated into the border of the display.
The "Cloudbook" may be introduced at the January 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The price is said to be around US$300 to 400. A developer version with a touchscreen and enhanced diagnostics is also planned.

Our guest blogger: James Lentz Jr.
James Lentz is our director for our next production "A Murder Is Announced"Director's Notes Dear Friends, A Murder is Announced is a classic murder mystery set in post World War II England. In this story, the many motives for murder are included. From greed, to jealousy, and of course passion, this story has it all. The only question is which of the suspects have which motives, and which of these are enough to lead to murder. Please join Inspector Craddock and the enigmatic Miss Marple as they match wits with the person or persons responsible in a tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The above is, of course, a classic teaser for promotional use but is never the less accurate. I was very excited by the prospect of directing a mystery play, since mysteries were among my favorite stories for as long as I can remember. Staying up late on Sundays to see the mystery show on PBS was the perfect way to start the week, or end the weekend. From Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys, to Sherlock Holmes and Ellery Queen, this genre has been an important part of my life. I am proud now to help bring to you this story, in which every character is important and every nuance relevant. Whether the ending is a surprise, or the savvy among you get it right off, I hope you enjoy this performance as thoroughly as we have enjoyed bringing it to you. James Lentz Jr.Director

Special Offer
Before any touching has taken place, lie close to your man and whisper how hot he's made you. "Most men aren't used to softer, sensual talk, but it creates so much anticipation," says Yvonne K. Fulbright, author of The Hot Guide to Safer Sex.
Don't be afraid to be explicit for example, tell him how tingly you are down below. Once he's under your spell, graze your fingers precariously close to his private parts. "By physically hinting at the action to come, his desire will be on fire," she adds.
Having Two Body Parts Pleasured at Once
After planting your lips lightly against his, coax his tongue gently into your mouth. "Gradually make your kiss more urgent by licking and then sucking the tip of his tongue," says New York City sex therapist Joy Davidson, PhD, author of Fearless Sex. "This suggests a primal kind of passion guys love."
While you're thrilling him with your mouth, slowly move one hand down to his groin and make a loose fist around his shaft. "As he gets harder, build up to coarser, tighter motions," says Davidson. The duet of sensations above and below the belt will be ultrapleasurable.

Transfer Credit Policy and Other Options for Prior Learning Credit
In general, transfer credit is awarded for college-level work completed at institutions accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA), assuming the provisions outlined below are also met. (Foreign institutions must be recognized by the Ministry of Education, or equivalent, of the home country). Courses must be similar in nature, level, and content to a course in UWM's undergraduate curriculum and applicable to one of our academic programs. Continuing education courses, graduate-level courses, and courses that are remedial, technical, vocational, or doctrinal in nature are not transferable.
UWM also grants college credit for Advanced Placement (AP) exams and International Baccalaureate exams (IB) provided the scores meet minimum requirements and are reported on official score reports. UWM grants credit for several College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) exams, retroactive credit based on foreign language placement and course completion, and credit for military coursework and training.
Credit Hours: The maximum number of transferable semester credits earned at one or any combination of two-year (associate degree level) institution(s) is 72. There is no credit limit on transferable credits from a four-year university. Please keep in mind that UWM students must complete a certain amount of credits in residence in order to obtain a degree from UWM. Consult the individual school/college for requirements regarding the number and kinds of credits a student must take in residence at UWM to earn a degree. Credit Conversion: If you have taken courses at an institution that uses quarter credit or units other than semester credits, we will convert your quarter credits/units to semester credits. You will not lose credits in the conversion. A quarter credit is the equivalent of 2/3 of a semester credit. Therefore, a student who has taken 30 transferable credits at a quarter system institution will have 20 semester hours transfer to UWM.
Grades: The grades you received at your previous institution(s) will not be calculated into your UW-Milwaukee grade point average but may be used in determining admissibility to certain academic programs. If you repeat coursework previously taken at UWM at an external institution and then return to UWM, the grade(s) for the UWM course will remain on your record and will be included in your UWM grade point average.
Equivalent vs. Elective Credit: Transfer courses with descriptions that closely match the descriptions of courses taught at UW-Milwaukee will generally transfer as direct course equivalent credits. For example, an introductory psychology course at your previous institution will likely transfer as our Psych 101 Introduction to Psychology. Transfer courses that don't have direct course equivalents at UW-Milwaukee will transfer as elective credits within the appropriate academic department. For example, a course on the history of Minnesota would transfer as history elective credits because UW-Milwaukee does not offer a course with that particular content. Elective credits count toward required degree credit completion totals and, upon approval of the academic program, may be used in fulfilling specific degree requirements.
Degree Requirements: Specific degree requirements differ among the various UW-Milwaukee schools and colleges. Transfer credit applies toward degree requirements appropriately based on the major and/or degree you intend to complete. To learn more about degree and major requirements, consult the Undergraduate Catalog or the appropriate undergraduate major.
Transfer Credit ProcessWe value your work at previous institutions and know that you're interested in how your credits may transfer to UW–Milwaukee. Our approach to transfer credit is to award as much credit as possible.
Credit EvaluationsAfter an applicant has been admitted to UWM, course work taken at institutions accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) is evaluated by the Registrar's Office. This evaluation is conducted by reviewing course descriptions from those institutions and evaluating the content against courses offered by UWM to determine if they are equivalent. UWM maintains equivalency tables for all UW System and WTCS institutions and other colleges/universities from which we receive significant populations of transfer applicants. Courses in these tables are reviewed and updated by the Registrar's Office transfer evaluation specialists and approved by UWM faculty.
The results of the official credit evaluation will be posted to your PAWS account within two-to-four weeks of your date of admission. To view your transfer credit or test results, you need to request your unofficial UWM transcript. Use the simple instructions below:
- Log into PAWS. Under the "Academics" heading, click on the drop down menu for "Other Academic." Select the "Unofficial Transcript" option and click on the double arrow to the right of the menu.
- Select the Transcript Type you want from the drop down menu. The Output Destination Type will always be email. Click on the "Submit Transcript Request" button.
- If your request for an unofficial transcript was submitted successfully, you'll see the message that says "Your request has been submitted. It has been sent to email@example.com as a PDF attachment. The sender's email address will be email@example.com. You can expect to receive an email within ten minutes.
Transfer Course EquivalenciesDepending on the school(s) you have attended, equivalencies for your courses may be listed in our online transfer equivalency database. Students transferring from another UW System school or a Wisconsin Technical College can find freshman- and sophomore-level course equivalencies on the Transfer Information System (TIS).
Transfer Information System (TIS): TIS is a website that allows current UW System (UWS) or Wisconsin Technical College (WTC) students to determine transfer equivalencies. If you are attending a UWS or WTC campus, you can enter freshman- and sophomore-level courses into the system and find out the exact equivalence at another UWS campus or WTC. You can also find out in advance what classes you may need to take at your current institution in order to meet prerequisites for specific majors at another. For example if you are interested in nursing you could use TIS to determine what science course you need to take at your current UW-institution or WTC campus in order to meet the science prerequisite for UW-Milwaukee.
Transfer AgreementsEligible students may take advantage of programs and agreements UWM has established with a number of partner institutions to make transferring to UW-Milwaukee more seamless by offering clear guidance on which courses transfer into our majors from other schools you have attended.
UWM participates in the Guaranteed Transfer program with the UW Colleges, Milwaukee Area Technical College, Madison College and Nicolet Area Technical College so that, when specific GPA and minimum credit requirements are fulfilled, you are guaranteed admission to UWM. Please contact the Student Services Office at your local UW College campus for more information.
In addition, several formal articulation agreements have been established to permit students who have completed certain programs at various Wisconsin Technical Colleges and/or other associate degree-granting institutions to transfer to related bachelor degree programs at UWM.
UW-Colleges to UW-Milwaukee Curriculum GuidesIf you are currently attending a UW-College campus and you are interested in transferring to UWM, then a curriculum guide may help you to plan your UWC coursework. The curriculum guides have information about what requirements you need to fulfill for your intended major at UWM as well as a semester-by-semester course plan to help you select your UWC courses.
Credit by ExaminationThe University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee grants advanced credit for the successful completion of college–level course work while in high school and for high achievement on Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and College–Level Examination Program exams.
Credits earned may be awarded toward general education requirements, degree requirements, or elective credit. The purpose of awarding advanced credit is to recognize advanced high–quality work, to preclude the duplication of courses, and to provide increased flexibility for students who wish to complete two majors, earn a certificate, or graduate early.
Advanced PlacementIf you completed an Advanced Placement (AP) class and you chose to take AP examinations, or did take them when you were in high school, you may be able to receive college credit for a satisfactory AP test score. UWM will grant college credit for satisfactory scores if you enroll at UWM as degree candidate and submit official score reports to:
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
P.O. Box 749
Milwaukee, WI 53201-0749
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
P.O. Box 749
Milwaukee, WI 53201-0749
We will not accept scores printed on transcripts from other colleges and universities. We only accept the offical advanced placement report.
International Baccalaureate (IB)If you are enrolled in a school that offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, and you take IB examinations, or did take them when you were in high school, UWM may award college credit if you enroll as a degree candidate.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP)Credits may be earned for some college level courses through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Recent high school graduates may benefit from these tests. The UWM Testing Center in the Registrar's Office administers CLEP exams, please contact them with more questions at 414-229-4689.
Retroactive Credit for Foreign LanguageFirst complete the foreign language placement tests. Then consult with your advisor about what foreign language course to take. You may have scored well enough on the foreign language placement test to place into an advanced level. After you complete that first foreign language class with a B or better, you could receive retroactive credit for the college classes you skipped. In other words, you may be granted college credit for foreign language courses up through the first foreign language course that you completed at UWM. For more information, please contact the UWM Landuage Program or ask your academic advisor.
Credit for Military Coursework and TrainingWe award up to four credits in Sport & Recreation and Human Movement Sciences for students who have completed basic training. In addition, we evaluate military transcripts for possible transfer credit. In general however, learning experiences at military schools are occupational in nature and therefore not eligible for transfer credit. Courses must be similar in nature to a course in our undergraduate curriculum and applicable to one of our academic programs to receive transfer credit.
Community College of the Air Force (CCAF): Physical education courses may be accepted for transfer credit. There are a very limited number of courses that are reviewed on a case by case basis, but in general all other CCAF courses are occupational in nature and are not accepted.
College-Level Examination Program (CLEP): The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) allows students who have gained knowledge through independent study, advanced high school courses, noncredit adult courses, or professional development to take examinations for possible college credit. Credit is granted for a satisfactory exam score. Review our CLEP Credit Guide for more details. The UWM Testing Center administers CLEP exams, please contact them with more questions at 414-229-4689.
DANTES Standardized Subject Tests (DSST): We do not award transfer credit for DSSTs.
Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLIFLC): We accept up to 14 credits for sequential courses in a foreign language (we do not award transfer credit for language courses of an applied or functional nature).
Military Occupational Specialties (MOS): MOS courses (on AARTS or SMART transcripts) are occupational in nature and therefore not accepted for transfer credit.

AUSTIN -- State lawmakers are taking a lesson from the tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. A group is proposing a bill Tuesday afternoon which would give individual school districts more say over security.
There's support for the Texas School District Security Act in both the House and Senate and from both Republicans and Democrats.The act gives school districts options to increase law enforcement and security on campus.
Following the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, the Austin Police Department increased patrols at AISD elementary schools. Currently the district stations security officers at all high schools, but none at elementary schools.
Similar measures are spreading statewide. In Navarro Independent School District an armed deputy is now stationed at each school.
In Harrold, Texas teachers who have a concealed handgun license can carry a gun with them to campus. It's a measure called The Guardian Plan, and it has been in place since 2007.
Those measures get expensive and currently districts cover the costs. Navarro ISD officials say it will cost about $50,000 a year to cover the expense of the armed deputy.
It's unclear whether those expenses could be covered by the state with The Texas School District Security Act. Details will be announced Tuesday afternoon by Senator Tommy Williams (R) of The Woodlands, Senator John Whitmire (D) of Houston and Representative Dan Huberty (R) of Humble.

Looking for a small stock with big return potential? Jim Cramer has an idea for you.
"An orphan drug is one that treats an incredibly rare disease," explained Jim Cramer. "In the United States that's a disease that afflicts less than 200,000 people, and in Europe, it's one that occurs in no more than 0.05% of the population."
Cramer realizes that may sound counter-intuitive – these drugs have a relatively small customer base, which suggests demand will never be a substantial catalyst. However, he believes there are other catalysts which will more than offset the demand issue.
"For starters, the FDA tends to go much easier on orphan drugs because they know there aren't any other alternatives for people with these rare diseases," Cramer said. "Second, once orphan drugs get approved, the companies that make them price these medications at truly astronomical levels, these drugs can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars of year."
Also Cramer said the government provides orphan drug developers with all sorts of incentives, such as tax relief, enhanced patent protection, subsidized clinical research, and years of marketing exclusivity.

All told, "I think orphan drugs are the sweet spot of the industry," Cramer concluded.
If you agree with the thesis, two of Cramer's favorites are Alexion and BioMarin.
"I first recommended these names about two-and-a-half years ago, in October of 2010, and since then Alexion has rallied 178%, while BioMarin's rallied 184%. Those are some fantastic moves, and I think these two stocks have much more room to run," Cramer said.

I hate the moment when I have to reinstall packages after updating or restoring the firmware. There are a few applications making jailbreak and activation easy. Sync movies, music, contacts, bookmarks are relatively easy using properly configured iTunes. Well it takes a while but at least the phone doesnt need babysitting during synchronization. However installing desired applications I had before is a different story. I have to install them one by one.
Lets use the power of Debian to perform the task.
The following instructions will work only with packages installed using Cydia.
1. First we need a backup of our list of installed packages before update/restore the firmware.
2. Use terminal or PuTTY. You have to be a root. Here is the magic command creating you backup list: dpkg --get-selections > /private/var/MyPackages.list
3. Transfer /private/var/MyPackages.list to your PC or MAC using your favorite application. WinSCP works fine for me.
4. Now you can restore/update the firmware. Jailbreak, activate and unlock. You will need Cydia installed for the next step.
5. Transfer MyPackages.list from your computer to the iPhone. Remember the directory you placed it. Ill use /private/var.
6. SSH to your phone or use terminal. Make sure you are root.
7. Restore your packages selection using the following command dpkg --set-selections < /private/var/MyPackages.list
8. Make sure the APT is up to date. apt-get update
9. Install selected packages /from your backup list/. apt-get dselect-upgrade will make it happen.
10. Restart the springboard and you are all set.

Fred Cubberly grinned from ear to ear as he sampled Wild Turkey's Kentucky Spirit in the distillery's tasting room Friday. His bliss wasn't born entirely from the bourbon. He'd only had an ounce or two. It was born out of the pleasure of simply being at Wild Turkey in Lawrenceburg.

I am a Recreation, Parks, and Tourism major and I love it more than words can express. All of my professors have been incredible, and my advisor is one of the most pleasant people I have ever met. I am specializing in Event Management and I really feel like I am being prepared for my career.
It really wasn't that difficult, just be awesome and keep up the good work!
Drug Safety:
SNAP is a program offered by student government that picks people up and drives them where they need to go.
Off-Campus Dining:
My favorites are 4Rivers BBQ, Hyppo pops, Pascals coffee, Chuys Mexican, and Chipotle
The HEB major is awesome. The teachers are great. Lots of work but not to bad if you are motivated.
Off-Campus Housing:
Lots of places to choose from and buses to take you to campus. Lots of options to fit what you are looking for.
Greek Life:
Lots of work being done by the Greeks. Generally not looked at as any different than anyone else.
Computer labs are great usually not full and have open computer. Free printing up to 200 pages per semester in the student union.
The weather is usually great! Although it does rain quite a bit in Gainesville
The HEB program is awesome. The teachers are great, the workload is alot but doable if you work hard and there are lots of opportunities for internships
I plan to have one next spring. It is part of our degree. Lots offered and will give me on the job training before graduation
Campus Strictness:
Campus is very strict on certain things to maintain the integrity and safety of our school
Off-Campus Dining:
Lots of options both healthy and not. always something I'm in the mood for
Process has gone well for me every year
Drug Safety:
See most of it in the Greek areas of the school
Lots of different people who can share their experiences
Overall Experience:
It's Great to Be Florida Gator!
Health & Safety:
I feel safe, and if I needed health or safety assistance I could easily get it.
Local Atmosphere:
It's definitely a college town, but in the best way possible.
Work hard, play hard. People are definitely into the party scene here.
Campus Strictness:
I haven't had any problems with anything, as long as you aren't obnoxiously doing the wrong thing no one cares.
I feel like it is no different than the process my brother and sister went through at their public universities, but financial aid processes in general are worrisome.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are a ton of chains, but also some very cool eclectic, mom and pop type places if your willing to ask around and venture a bit further off campus.
Off-Campus Housing:
Off campus housing is really good, there are a lot of different options as far a distance, price range, and amenities go. It takes some research to find what you are looking for, but totally worth it. I recommend Oxford Manor, it's less than a mile from campus, there are 12 bus stops at it, and the units are really nice and affordable (they are set up like town homes, but you still only pay per room).
Everyone is really in to school pride, because tbh "it's great to be a Florida gator"

Some schools have certain advantages over others. Small schools give a feeling of community; large schools have lots of resources; private schools are ripe for close academic relationships with faculty; and state schools offer a good value. Well, UF is not your typical state school, and Gainesville is certainly not your stereotypical small town. Because this place is so big, it has all of the libraries, dorms, athletics, courses, clubs, and services you could want at a good price. But if you put forth just a little effort, you'll find that the University also has more compassionate, down-to-earth professors, locals, and students that any small, private school could ever dream of having.
The best thing about going to a school like UF is that whatever you want to accomplish in life, it is probably obtainable through going to this school. You will never have to worry about not fitting in with anyone because the campus is a huge melting pot. Students are never bored on campus because there is literally always something to do with friends both on or off campus. And who wouldn't want to go to a school where the immense amount of school pride is literally unexplainable? It sure is great to be a Florida Gator.

Feminist Conversations is a weekly column at Feminists For Choice, where we talk to feminists from across the interwebs to find out what feminism means to them. Today we are speaking with Feminists for Choice writer Andrew Jenkins. AJ is a full time student at CSU Long Beach double majoring in Communications and Women's & Gender Studies. He is vice president of the Speech & Debate team and Director of the first Choice USA chapter at CSU Long Beach. AJ is currently interning in the public affairs department at Planned Parenthood Los Angeles and is also in the middle of a yearlong fellowship with Young People For. AJ is also the Communications Director at Textbooks4change, a student-led fundraising program that enables college students to raise money for progressive causes through textbooks purchases.
1. When did you first call yourself a feminist, and what influenced that decision?
Although I have always held very strong feminist values at my core, I didn't really start calling myself a feminist until I was a freshman in college. To be honest, I didn't even know that feminism existed prior to that. Growing up in such a conservative community removed me from all things progressive, let alone feminist. Despite the values instilled in me from a very early age, I didn't have a feminist language and worldview quite yet. That changed when I left for college. After years of internalizing my queer sexuality, I finally decided to come out of the closet when I arrived in Long Beach. This experience, both internal and external, is what really brought me to feminism. I began to see connections between my own personal experiences of homophobia and the exploitation that women face on a daily basis. This pushed me to look deeper into what social and political structures shape human relations and it is precisely this journey that brought me to feminism and gender studies.
Once there, I finally had a language to describe a feeling and a sense of self that I had always had.
With that being said, I have to credit my mother for really showing me, through her actions, struggles, and triumphs, what feminism really means. Her balancing of motherhood and professional adventures really showed me what women are capable of. Her successes, despite all of the odds against her (ie: single motherhood, wage discrimination, a history of domestic violence) are what really informed my feminist politics. [Read more...]

UConn notes: Weist to reevaluate quarterback position
|Connecticut wide receiver Brian Lemelle (84) runs for a 46-yard touchdown on a pass play as Central Florida 's Shaquill Griffin (10) tries to stop him during the second half of an NCAA college football game in Orlando, Fla., Saturday, Oct. 26, 2013. Central Florida won the game 62-17.(AP Photo/John Raoux)
ORLANDO, Fla. — UConn enters its final bye week of the football season. It might seem more like preseason camp for some.
After Saturday's 62-17 thrashing at No. 21 Central Florida, UConn interim head coach T.J. Weist said the coaching staff will re-evaluate the quarterback position.

Do you love the combination of colours, green tiles with the occasional floral tile randomly thrown in, a few pink touches and blue bath. Then there is the unusually shaped custom vanity with the return end at a weird angle... the blind that must have been new in the 70's and the rusty radiator on the wall or the slanting mirror.
So it was time to gird my loins and buy a bigger power tool!! I do own drills, jig saws, sanders etc but now it was time for the big boy .... a circular saw (OK I know a drop saw is bigger but this was big enough to always worry me that I would cut off my fingers!!).
STEP 1 I removed the basin and top of the vanity and rebuilt the side return to square it off and make it into open shelves. I made a new top out of cement board and trimmed it with decorative timber on the edges and tiled the top in white mosaic tiles. Finally I got the plumber to put in a new counter top basin and mixer tap.
STEP 2 I sanded back the peeling ceiling and painted it white and the walls got a couple of coats of a fresh pale green.
STEP 3 Time to tackle the tiles, I used a 3 part system to paint the tiles on the walls, this does not work on the floor tiles which luckily in my case are quite pretty green and white mosaic. The paint is by White Knight.
|Clean all the tiles thoroughly with the White Knight tile and laminate cleaner, do not miss this step!
|Once dry prime all the tiles, this will allow the paint to stick, I painted it on with a small roller.
|Finally once the primer has dried for at least 4 hours, topcoat with either the tile paint for a gloss finish or the laminate paint for a matte finish, this can be applied with a small roller and then brushed off lightly with a good quality brush
STEP 4 I then tackled the bath, this would need something even tougher...again from White Knight Tub n' Tile a two part epoxy paint. Read the directions carefully or the surface may fail.
So here is the end result.... I am very happy with it.... it has gone well for over 2 years now!!!
I forgot to mention the cute little crystal pendant lights that I added to hang down and help light the room plus the extra details I added to the doors of the vanity to give them a shaker look and new knobs. Hope you like the new look....it wont last forever but it will do for now.

Bro.George opened to Neh. 2:20, "We his servants will rise and build". We his servants- that is us! Before we can grow, we must build our faith. If we feel we have gone as far as we can go, we have no faith. We must keep on God's word and his vision for us. We also need to build our families to take our faith and fight with it. Never surrender your ways but fight to teach your children what is right. To do that you must surrender your work. Not your job but your work for the Lord. How can one hour once a week strengthen your faith? You must do it daily!
Your walk must be God's walk!
We must build our fellowship and love the Lord. We will love his presence if we act the way He commands.
We must lift his name on high and honor Him always, not just on Sunday. We closed by honoring our pastor and ministers for their work serving the church of God. The bonus for the day was that three souls were baptized into a new life with Christ!! Amen.

If a dose of "The Young and the Restless'" Victoria Rowell (ex-Drucilla Winters) is just what you've been craving this holiday season, then get ready for your wish to come true! The former daytime star will be appearing in an upcoming original UP film titled "Marry Me for Christmas."
The romantic, home-for-the-holidays feature follows Marci Jewel (Malinda Williams), the owner and creative director of an up-and-coming ad agency who's happy about her life as a NYC single gal — until the holidays roll around! "While all of her cousins are married and having babies, Marci remains the lone holdout in the large Chandler family clan who has put marriage and motherhood on hold for the sake of her career," states an official press release. "As the family's epic Christmas celebration is about to start, Marci learns that her favorite cousin Dana (Tamara Bass), her husband Frankie (Jason Weaver) and their family are leaving the country for five years on missionary work. So at the last minute, Marci promises to come home for the holidays for the first time in years. With a deadline looming for a new client, she drags her employee Adam (Brad James) in tow to Atlanta and does the only thing she can do in the face of unbearable pressure from her ailing mom Stephanie (Rowell), aunt Myra (DeEtta West), uncle Donald (Greg Alan Williams) and cousin Preston (Carl Payne): fakes a fiancé."

READING, Pa.—A judge has imposed a life prison term on a man in a slaying near a crowded eastern Pennsylvania playground last year despite the defendant's insistence that he is innocent.
The Reading Eagle ( http://bit.ly/RjtA1y) says Berks County Judge Paul Yatron sentenced 20-year-old Jaquill Blake of Reading on Monday, calling him "an extraordinarily dangerous young man."
Jurors convicted Blake of first-degree murder on Friday in the April 2011 death of 21-year-old Alexis Rosario. Witnesses testified that he continued to fire even after the victim fell.
Blake told the judge "Whatever time you give me, I'm still innocent."
Waldron also imposed another seven to 14 years on weapons and other counts despite objections from defense attorney William Bispels Jr., who said the life term already carried no possibility of parole.
